![D i p o l e space m o m e n t comma space p space equals space 4 cross times 10 to the power of negative 9 end exponent space C. m
E l e c t r i c space f i e l d comma space E space space equals space 5 cross times 10 to the power of 4 space N divided by C space
theta space equals space 30 degree
